New Delhi: India’s opposition INDIA bloc is set to continue protests in Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The latest protest follows another round of detentions involving opposition lawmakers, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
CJP Volunteers Allegedly Detained
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which has also joined the campaign against the SIR exercise, claimed that thousands of its volunteers were detained across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal ahead of its planned October 10 Delhi protest. The group had earlier demonstrated in Mumbai and is continuing its mobilisation against the election process.
Bengaluru Protest And People’s Tribunal
In Bengaluru, CJP is holding a People’s Tribunal on SIR at Freedom Park, followed by a “Chappal protest”.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, co-convener Ashutosh Ranka, actor Prakash Raj and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee are among those associated with the programme.
